An  Ideal  Vacation  Trip. 


Here  amid  the  grandeur  of  Alpine  scenery,  tinted  with  colors  of  indescribable 
variety  and  beauty,  are  geysers  spouting  at  precise  intervals  their  scalding 
waters  skyward;  terrace-buildmg  fountains;  pools  of  learning  clay;  everlasting  springs  iced  in  earth's  depths  or  boiling  from 
her  turnaces;  and  the  great  Yellowstone  Lake  a  mile  and  a  half  above  sea  level;  and  romantic  vales  and  shaded  glens; 
and  all  else  that  prodigal  creative  genius  could  furnish  to  fill  the  land  with  wonders. 

§  With  the  completion  of  the  new  branch  from  St.  Anthony,  Idaho,  tourists  will  be  enabled  to  travel  by  rail  to  the 
western  border  of  the  Park,  within  seventeen  miles  of  the  famous  Fountain  Hotel.     This,  will  permit  of

THE  ARTICLES  OF  FAITH 


A  TYPICAL  MORMON  HYMN. 


OF  THE  CHURCH  OF  JESUS  CHRIST  OF  LATTER- 
DAY  SAINTS. 

1.  We  believe  in  God,  the  Eternal  Father,  and  in  His  Son  Jesua  Christ, 
and  in  the  Holy  Ghost. 

2.  We  believe  that  men  will  be  punished  for  their  own  sins   and  not  for 
Adam's  transgression. 

3.  We  believe  that  through  the  atonement  of  Christ.all  mankind  may  be 
saved,  by  obedience  to  the  laws  and  ordinances  of  the  Gospel. 

4.  We  believe  that  the  first  principles  and  ordinances  of  the  Gospel  are:  — 
(1)  Faith  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ;    (2)  Repentance;    (3)  Baptism  by  immer- 
sion for  the  remission  of  sins;    (4)    Laying  on   of  hands  for  the  Gift  of  the 
Holy  Ghost. 

5.  We  believed  that  a  man  must  be  called  of  God,  by  prophecy,  and  by  the 
laying-  on  of  bands,  by  those  who   are  in  authority,  to  "preach  the  Gospel  and 
administer  in  the  ordinances  thereof. 

G.  We  believe  in  the  same  organization  that  existed  in  the  Primitive  Church, 
viz:  apostles,  prophets,  pastors,  teachers,  evangelists,  etc. 

7.  We  believe  in  the  gift  of  tongues,  j.rjphecy,  revelation,  visions,  healing, 
interpretation  of  tongues,  etc. 

8.  We  believe  the  Bible  to  be  the   word    of   God.    as  far  as  it  is  translated 
correctly;  we  also  believe  the  Book  of  Mormon  to  be  the  word  of  God. 

9.  We  believe  all  that  God  has  revealed,  all  that  he  does  now  reveal,  and 
we  believe  that  he  will  yet  reveal  many  great  and  important  things  pertaining 
to  the  Kingdom  of  God. 

10.  We  believe  in  the  literal  gathering  of  Isarel,  and  in  the  restoration  of 
the  Ten  Tribes:  that  Zion  will  be  built  upon  this    (the  American)  continent: 
that  Christ  will  reign  personally  upon  the  earth;    and  that  the  earth  will  be 
renewed  and  receive  its  paradisaical  glory. 

11.  We  claim  the  privilege  of  worshiping  Almighty  God  according  to  the 
dictates   of  our  concience,  and  allow  all  men  the  same  privilage,  let    them 
worship  how,  where,  or  what  they  may. 

12.  We  believe  in  being  subject  to  kings,  presidents,  rulers,  and  magis- 
trates, in  obeying,  honoring,  and  sustaining  the  law. 

I.'!.  We  believe  in  being  honest,  true,  chaste,  benevolent,  virtuous,  and  in 
doing  good  to  all  men:  indeed,  we  may  say  that  we  follow  the  admonition  of 
Paul,  we  believe  all  things,  we  hope  all  things,  we  have  endured  many  things, 
and  hope  to  be  able  to  endure  all  things.  If  there  is  anything  virtuous,  love- 
ly, or  of  good  report  or  praiseworthy,  we  seek  after  these  things.— JOSEPH 
SMITH. 


O  MY  FATHER. 


O  my  Father,  Thou  that  dwellest 

In  the  high  and  glorious  place! 
When  shall  I  regain  Thy  presence, 

And  again  behold  Thy  face? 
In  Thy  holy  habitation, 

Did  my  spirit  once  reside! 
In  my  first,  primeval  childhood, 

Was  I  nurtured  near  Thv  side! 


For  a  wise  and  glorious  purpose 

Thou  hast  placed  me  here  on  earth, 
And  withheld  the  recollection 

Of  my  former  friends  and  birth. 
Yet  oft-times  a  secret  something 

Whispered,  Your  a  stranger  here, 
And  1  felt  that  I  had  wandered 

From  a  more  exalted  sphere. 


I  had  learned  to  call  Thee  Father. 

Through  Thy  Spirit  from  on  high 
But,  until  the  Key  of  Knowledge 

Was  restored,  I  knew  not  why. 
In  the  heavens  are  parents  single? 

No:  the  thought  makes  reason  stare! 
Truth  is  reason:  truth  eternal 

Tells  me  I've  a  mother  there. 


When  I  leave  this  frail  existence, 

When  I  lay  this  mortal  by, 
Father,  mother,  may  I  meet  you 

In  your  royal  courts  on  high? 
Then  at  length,  when  I've  completed 

All  you  sent  me  forth  to  do, 
With  your  mutual  approbation 

Let  me  come  and  dwell  with  you. 
Eliza  R.  Snow. 


A     SKETCH 
OF 


UTAH   AND    MORMONISM 


BY 


O.  F.  WHITNEY 


|TAH  owes  her  existence  to  a  religious  movement  similar 

Uin  some  of  its  phases  to  that  which  peopled  the  shores 
I  of  New  England  with  representatives  of  the  Anglo- 
Saxon  race  and  laid  the  foundation  of  the  mightiest  gov- 
ernment of  modern  times.  No  complete  history  of  the 
I'nited  Stales  could  be  written  without  some  reference  to  the 
Pilgrims  or  Puritans  who  fled  from  the  i>ersecution  in  the 
Old  World  to  find  religious  freedom  in  the  New.  No  sketch  of 
I'tah  would  be  i-omplete,  or  even  possible,  without  some  reference 
to  the,  .Mormons,  or,  to  give  them  their  proper  title,  the  Church 
of  .lesiis  <  'hrist  of  latter-day  S;iints:  for  it  was  that  Church,  per- 
secuted in  the  East  and  pausing  midway  in  its  westward  (light  from 
Nauvoo — its  last  foothold  within  the  confines  of  civili/ation— (hat 
sent  forth  the  Pioneers  who  founded  I" tali,  and  has  ever  since  fur- 
nished the  hulk  of  the  hone  and  sinew  that  lias  built  up  the  State. 
Moriiioiiisin  and  I'tah  an-  inseparable  themes:  as  much  so  as  any 
coupling  of  cause  and  effect. 

The  founder  of  the  Church  was  Joseph  Smith,  a  native  of 
Vermont,  who  as  a  boy  of  fourteen,  in  the  lores!  fringed  districts 
of  Western  New  York,  received  visitations  from  on  high,  apprising 
him  of  the  apostate  condition  of  Christendom  and  aulhori/ing  him 
to  establish  anew  upon  earth  the  true  Church  of  Christ.  His  first 
•ation  was  in  the  spring  of  1820,  when  the  Father  and  Son 
appeared  to  him,  opening  the  new  gospel  dispensation.  Subse- 
quently he  was  visited  by  an  angel  named  Moroni,  who  revealed 
to  him  the  existence  of  some  golden  plates,  hidden  in  a  hill  near 
the  village  of  Manchester.  These  plates,  tem|x>rarily  entrusted 
to  him  by  the  angel,  were  covered  with  ancient  hieroglyphics. 


which  .Joseph  Smith,  by  means  of  the  Trim  and  Thummim— also 
delivered  to  him  by  the  angel-  translated,  and  gave  to  the  world 
MS  a  result  the  Book  of  Mormon.  It  is  a  record  of  the  ancient  in- 
habitants of  America,  from  the  time  of  the  Tower  of  Kabel  down 
to  the  early  part  of  the  fifth  century  of  the  Christian  Era,  and  Is 
mostly  the  history  of  a  people  called  Nephites,  a  branch 
of  the  house  of  Israel,  who,  led  by  Lehi  and  his  son  Nephi, 
of  the  tribe  of  Manass.-ih,  and  followed  by  some  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Judith,  came  from  Jerusalem  about  the  year  600  B.C. 
and  peopled  South  and  North  America.  To  these  descendants 
of  Abraham  the  Savior  api>eared,  after  his  resurrection,  and 
taught  the  fulness  of  his  Gospel,  supplementing  and  preceding 
the  teachings  of  other  prophets,  the  last  of  whom  was  Moroni. 
afterwards  the  angel  custodian  of  the  golden  plates,  who,  while 
yet  a  mortal,  about  420  A.  D.,  hid  them  in  the  hill  from  which  they 
were  taken  by  Joseph  Smith.  This  place  of  dejwsit  was  called 
by  the  Nephites,  Cumorah.  The  Book  of  Mormon  takes  its  name 
from  Mormon,  the  father  of  Moroni,  who  recorded  upon  the  plates 
the  history  of  his  people,  the  white  progenitors  of  the  dusky  and 
degenerate  American  Indians. 

Among  the  angelic  visitants  connected  with  the  rise  of  the 
Latter-day  Church,  was  John  the  Baptist,  who,  on  May  15,  1829, 
conferred  upon  Joseph  Smith  and  Oliver  Cowdery  the  Aaronic 
Priesthood,  empowering  them  to  preach  faith  and  re|>entance  and 
to  baptize  by  immersion  for  the  remission  of  sins.  This  was  fol- 
lowed by  a  visiialion  from  Peter,  James  and  John,  who  conferred 
upon  Joseph  and  Oliver  the  Melchisedek  Priesthood,  which  gave 
them  power  to  liestow  the  Holy  Ghost  by  the  laying  on  of  hands. 


Thus  equipped  with  the  Bible  and  Book  of  Mormon  as  their  doc- 
trinal standards,  supplemented  by  immediate  and  continuous 
revelation,  this  twain — known  as  the  First  and  Second  Elders  of  the 
Church — with  others  ordained  by  them,  went  forth  preaching  amid 
the  hottest  persecution  the  restored  gospel,  healing  the  sick,  cast- 
ing out  devils,  and  otherwise  "confirming  the  words  with  signs 
following."  Their  first  converts  were  made  from  Western  and 
Southern  New  York  and  Northern  Pennsylvania. 

The  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints — nicknamed 
"Mormons"  for  their  belief  in  the  Book  of  Mormon — was  organi/.ed 
at  Fayette,  Seneca  County.  New  York,  on  the  6th  day  of  April, 
18.'!0.  Within  a  year  it  moved  bodily  to  Kirtland.  Ohio,  which  be- 
came during  the  next  seven  years  its  headquarters.  In  18.'!!,  it  es- 
tablished a  colony  in  Jackson  County,  Missouri,  the  site  of  the 
future  City  of  Zion,  the  New  Jerusalem,  which  the  Saints,  who 
are  of  Israel,  mostly  of  the  seed  of  Ephraim,  gathered  out  from  all 
nations,  expect  to  rear  in  fulfillment  of  prophecy,  preparatory  to 
the  second  coming  of  the  Savior. 

Persecution  followed  them  both  to  Ohio  and  Missouri.  In  the 
fall  of  18.'!.'!  they  were  expelled  with  fire  and  sword  from  Jackson 
County,  and  early  in  1838  the  main  body  of  the  Church,  having 
lost  some  of  its  prominent  members  by  apostasy,  abandoned  Kirt- 
land, with  the  temple  they  had  built  there,  and  concentrated  twelve 
to  fifteen  thousand  strong,  in  and  around  Caldwell  County,  Mis- 
souri, where  they  founded  Far  West  and  other  nourishing  settle- 
ments. There  trouble  again  arose,  caused  by  religious  and  politi- 
cal differences  between  them  and  the  other  settlers,  and  in  the  fall 
and  winter  succeeding,  the  Jackson  County  tragedy  was  repeated 
ona larger  scale.  Under  on  order  issued  by  Governor  Lilburn  W. 
Boggs,  and  executed  by  Major-General  John  B.  Clark  and  others, 
in  command  of  an  overwhelming  force  of  militia,  the  entire 
Mormon  community,  after  many  of  them  had  been  killed  in  battle 
and  massacred,  their  leaders  imprisoned,  their  homes  devastated, 
were  driven  in  mid-winter  from  the  confines  of  the  State. 

Kindly  received  by  the  people  of  Illinois,  the  expatriated  com- 


munity settled  on  the  east  shore  of  the  Mississippi,  in  Hancock 
County,  where  they  founded  their  beautiful  city  of  Nauvoo,  sur- 
rounded by  other  Mormon  settlements,  both  in  Illinois  and  Iowa. 
There  they  remained  for  seven  years,  increasing  rapidly  by  im- 
migration from  the  Eastern  States,  Canada  and  Great  Britain 
until  they  aggregated  twenty  thousand  souls.  Religious  and 
political  animosity  still  pursued  them,  and  finally  on  the  2"th  day 
of  June,  1844,  their  Prophet  Joseph  Smith,  and  his  brother  Hyrum, 
the.  Patriarch  of  the  Church,  who  had  surrendered  for  trial  on  a 
trumped  up  charge  of  treason  and  riot,  were  murdered  in  Carthage 
jail  by  an  anti-Mormon  mob,  while  under  the  pledged  protection 
of  the  Governor  of  the  State.  Justice  was  never  done  on  the 
murderers. 

Under  Brigham  Young,  the  successor  to  Joseph  Smith,  the 
Mormon  people,  in  February,  1846.  began  the  famous  exodus  from 
Illinois,  leaving  Nauvoo  with  its  Temple,  which  had  just  been 
dedicated,  to  be  pillaged  and  desecrated  by  their  enemies.  From 
their  scattered  camps  in  Iowa,  and  on  the  Missouri,  in  the  summer 
of  that  year,  went  forth  at  the  call  of  their  country  the  Mormon 
Battalion,  500  strong,  to  assist  the  United  States  in  its  war  against 
Mexico.  In  the  spring  of  1847  the  Mormon  pioneers  (one  hundred 
and  forty  three  men,  three  women  and  two  children)  led  by  Brigham 
Young  in  person,  leaving  the  main  body  encamped  upon  the  frontier, 
started  upon  their  historic  journey  to  the  Rocky  Mountains. 
Traversing  trackless  plains  and  snow-clad  mountains  lying  between 
the  Missouri  river  and  the  great  American  Desert,  on  the  24th 
day  of  July  they  entered  Salt  Lake  Valley,  where,  in  the  midst  of 
desolation,  surrounded  by  savage  tribes  and  suffering  untold  hard- 
ships and  privation,  they  founded  Salt  Lake  City,  the  metropolis 
of  the  Inter-Mountain  region;  the  parent  of  more  than  two  hun- 
dred cities,  towns  and  villages,  that  owe  their  existence  to  the 
Mormon  people  and  their  great  leader,  Brigham  Young.  The 
residue  of  the  migrating  Church  followed  the  Pioneers  to  their 
new-found  home  in  the  wilderness:  thenceforth  the  gathering  place 
of  the  Mormon  people.

When  I  rhyme  about  the  river,  the  laughing  limpid  slream, 
Whose  ripples  seem  to  shiver  as  they  glide  and  glow  and  gleam. 

Of  the  waves  that  beat  the  boulders  that  are  strewn  upon  the  Strand, 
You  will  recognize  the  river  in  the  Canyon  of  the  Grand. 


God  was  good  to  make  the  mountains,  the  valleys  and  the  hills, 
Put  the  rose  upon  the  cactus,  the  ripple  on  the  rills, 

But  if  I  had  all  the  words  of  all  the  worlds  at  my  command, 
I  couldn't  paint  a  pidure  of  the  Canyon  of  the  Grand.
